events

This week Monday 14 October 2013 is an INSET day and school is closed.
Friday 18 October 2013 is the end of half-term and we break up for a week's holiday. School closing on Friday is at 3pm as normal.

Our codebreaking team for the National Cipher Challenge have started the competition well and solved the first puzzle within minutes last week. Good luck to them as they continue with week 2 of the competition.

‍‍year 7

Although other year groups are having their first half-term assessments this week, we've decided that the baseline testing is enough for now, so there are no special tests for year 7 this week.
classwork
Year 7 are learning about Written Calculations and Checking in unit N1:

support	core	extension
set 3	set 2	set 1

year 7 homework

year 8

This week is the end of half-term, so we are carrying out our usual end-of-half-term test. Pupils in year 8 will be tested using a KS3 SATs type paper to see what their summative level is.
classwork
This week year 8 are starting a new unit about Lines, Angles and Shapes in unit GM1:

support	core	extension
set 3	set 2	set 1
use the vocabulary, notation and labelling conventions for lines, angles & shapes	identify alternate & corresponding angles	explain how to find, calculate & use the sums of the interior and exterior angles of polygons
know simple angle rules: the sum of angles at a point, the sum of angles at a point on a straight line vertically opposite angles	solve problems involving equilateral, isosceles and right-angled triangles	explain how to find, calculate & use the interior & exterior angles of regular polygons
know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°	solve angle problems involving quadrilaterals	solve angle problems involving knowledge of angles on parallel lines
		know the definition of a circle and the names of the parts of the circle

year 8 homework

‍‍year 9

This week is the end of half-term, so we are carrying out our usual end-of-half-term test. Pupils in year 9 will be tested using a KS3 SATs type paper to see what their current summative level is. This will be used on our flightpath record.
classwork
This week year 9 are learning about Lines, Angles and Shapes in unit GM1.

support	core	extension
identify alternate & corresponding angles	explain how to find, calculate & use the sums of the interior and exterior angles of polygons	understand & apply Pythagoras' theorem when solving problems in 2-D and simple problems in 3-D
solve problems involving equilateral, isosceles and right-angled triangles	explain how to find, calculate & use the interior & exterior angles of regular polygons	solve multi-step problems using properties of angles, of parallel lines, and of triangles and other polygons
solve angle problems involving quadrilaterals	solve angle problems involving knowledge of angles on parallel lines	know that the tangent at any point on a circle is perpendicular to the radius at that point
	know the definition of a circle and the names of the parts of the circle	explain why the perpendicular from the centre to the chord bisects the chord
typically targeted at
sets 3 & 4	sets 2, 3 & 4	sets 1, 2 & 3

year 10

This week is the end of half-term, so we are carrying out our usual end-of-half-term test. Pupils in year 10 will be tested using a KS3 SATs type paper to see what their current summative level is. This will be used on our flightpath record. (We begin to use GCSE past-papers for this a little later in the course.)
classwork
Year 10 are learning about Manipulating Algebra in unit A1:

year 11

Should have completed their first mock GCSE paper in the last week. This will be used to give a summative level on the first flightpath entry.
classwork
Year 11 are learning about Pythagoras' Theorem and Trigonometry in unit GM7:

foundations	intermediate	higher	extension
grades G & F	grades E & D	grades C & B	grades A & A*
	Pythagoras' Theorem part 1 discovering Pythagoras' theorem Pythagoras' to find hypotenuse Pythagoras' to find shorter side	Pythagoras' Theorem part 2 - applications in coordinate geometry in circle and other 2D geometry problems in 3D
		Trigonometry in right-triangles discovering the ratios sin, cos and tan using sin to find the opposite in right triangles using cos to find the adjacent in right triangles using tan to find the opposite in right triangles using sin and rearranging to find the hypotenuse using cos and rearranging to find the hypotenuse using tan and rearranging to find the adjacent using sin-1, cos-1 and tan-1 to find an angle given two sides
		Problems involving Pythagoras' and trigonometry when do I use Pythagoras? when do I use trigonometry?
